"A very satisfied day patient"

Unexpectedly, my day patient visit yesterday was pleasant, stress free and very well executed by the kind and considerate staff of Ward 15 and the Oncology Department.

Had I had the foresight of how pleasant and comfortable my experience was, I would have done something about my condition much earlier.

A lot of negative-minded people bang on about how bad the NHS is and even take action against them on an on-going basis. I can only compliment what in my opinion is one of the greatest institutions in the World.

I have only one slight negative in that I was about 20 minutes late in going to the surgical suite. Apart from that everything else was excellent.

Thank you all - from receptionist to consultant surgeon - you are heroes !.
